Synopsis

Summary

Every state has an urban legend that evokes fear and curiosity in equal parts, and this anthology chronicles all of these logic-defying horrors. From the Jersey Devil to La Llorona, each story introduces a new chill inducing, stomach churning monster, spectre, or poltergeist certain to keep readers up at night. Featuring stories from Indigenous authors Keliko K.M. Adams (Hawai’i), Ginger Reno (Oklahoma), and Rae Rose (South Dakota).
